I have to go take care of Sunday night children's group, but will check this out when I get back!!!

I'm going to go ahead and get started. Please stop me at anytime if I'm going too fast or if you have any questions.

First, we will do the coffin.

You will need both templates for this project printed out on regular 8.5" X 11" paper.

1. Adhere the back side of an 8.5" X 11" piece of patterned paper to black cardstock. Note: For my lid I only used the black cardstock. If you want your coffin lid lined repeat this step.

2. Place the bottom template onto the patterned side of your decorative paper and secure by stapling around the edges (do not staple on the inside). Repeat for the lid template.

3. Score on the dotted lines of each template. Cut on the solid lines of each template. With a bone folder fold on the scored lines so that the creases go toward the inside of the pattern paper.

4. Flip over the bottom portion of the coffin so that the black cardstock is showing and add glue to each tab. Adhere the tabs to the inside of the box. Repeat step for the lid.

5. Embellish the lid with a sticker/tag or leave blank and wrap with twine. Fill the coffin with goodies.

STAR BOX

This was the most complicated of the favors - but my favorite to make. So please stop me or pm me with any questions. And remember these favors can be made for any occasion - not just Halloween. Just use whatever paper and embellishments you wish.

Note: For this box it is fun to create your own decorative paper by adhering several different patterns to a base layer; however, you can make a solid colored star too.

1. Create your decorative paper by choosing a base cardstock sized 8.5" X 10.5". Adhere strips of patterned paper and/or borders - the length of each should be 10.5, the height is up to your discretion.

2. Arrange the paper on its side (orientation horizontal) and patterned side facing down. Make a score line at 1". Continue to make score lines at 2" intervals until you have a total of 5 score lines (translates into score lines at 1", 3", 5", 7" and 9").

3. Flip the page over from top to bottom so that the patterned side faces up. The left side of the paper will remain in the same orientation.

4. Make a score line at 2" and continue at 2" intervals until you have a total of 5 score lines (translates into score lines at 2", 4", 6", 8", and 10").

5. Rotate the page so the orientation is vertical. Add a score line 1" up from the bottom of your paper.

6. At the bottom of your paper, the intersecting score lines create ten 1" squares and a smaller tab at the 10" score. Cut each of the squares into points as shown. Cut the 1/2" tab off.

7. Accordion fold at each score line. With a piece of double sided tape adhere the 1/2" side tab to the inside of the next section.

8. Along the bottom of the star, fold the tabs in, right over left, and adhere together.

9. Trace the star shape onto a corresponding paper. Cut out and adhere to the bottom over the tabs.

10. Fill with goodies and add a cute tag or embellishment.

CRACKER

This favor is so easy to make, but it is cute so I included it in the class.

This is a fun version of the traditional English Christmas toy.

1. Lay out a piece of crepe paper OR a double layer of tissue paper. Note: I found a fabric tissue paper at Michaels (I have seen it at dollar stores too) which works really well for this project.

2. Place the toilet paper tube at one edge of the paper in the center. Roll the tube in the paper until it is wrapped and cut off excess paper. Adhere the edge to the paper.

3. Twist one end and tie off with a ribbon or string.

4. Fill tube with goodies. Twist the other end and tie off.

5. Measure and cut a piece of decorative paper to wrap around the tube with a slight overlap. Wrap the paper around the tube and adhere overlapping edge with double sided tape.

6. Fringe the ends.

7. Trim the ribbons at each end and add an embellishment.

8. Finish decorating tube.
